There are nine volumes of the war illustrated I am luky enough to have them all. The rolls of honour are shown through all the volumes and are for officers although decorated other ranks are put in. I am not sure but I seem to have read somewhere that you had to pay (don’t quote me on that) to have a name put in. The reports were printed soon after the events ans so there is a lot of proper gander in the books but they make fantastic reading and the drawnings seem to be straight out of the empire.

Hi Gyln,

Slightly different to the other one

Is this the same?

John Franks Vallentin VC (14 May 1882 - 7 November 1914) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

He was 32 years old, and a captain in the 1st Battalion, The South Staffordshire Regiment, British Army during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.

On 7 November 1914 at Zillebeke, Belgium, when leading an attack against the Germans under very heavy fire, Captain Vallentin was struck down and on rising to continue the attack, was immediately killed. The capture of the enemy's trenches which immediately followed was in a great measure due to the confidence which the men had in their captain, arising from his many previous acts of great bravery and ability.

[Webby]

JF Vallentin, there is a very brief write up on him. " Captain John Franks Vallentin was formely in the Royal Garrison Artillery, and joined the South Staffordshires in 1905." No mention of a VC. This volume was published in 1915, so probably hadn't been awarded at time time of printing.

Capt Annesley

Hope there might be a bit more info there for you as well

Ian (and Clouter)

I too have a full set of the books. Clouter is right about the propoganda,it often clouds the story and seems to distort the facts. This far away from it all it is not always easy to spot opinions as against actualities. The "action" pics (are they or are they not) are absorbing though.

Best wishes

Hello Webby, I would very much like to get a copy of the photo of Brig Gen. Norman Reginald McMahon DSO if that would be possible.

I have done a lot of research on the McMahon family including his father, Thomas McMahon a Baronet and general in the Crimea, his brother Horace the 4th Baronet, his brother Frances who committed suicide, another brother and his sister Evelyn who married Malcolm Romer - her son was killed in WW I as well one daughetr married a Russion prince, another travelled as a missionary to South America in 1928. Frances's husband JWJ Hardman died of enterec fever in South Africa in 1900. Much deatail on the family can be found at www.oldwhitelodge.com
